NEW YORK – Spotify is getting together with Tinder to allow users of the dating app to find musical matches.

The streaming music service says Tinder users can now share a personal anthem on their profiles and swipe to see who has the same taste in music.

New York-based Spotify says users can play previews of other people’s top songs on Tinder with or without a Spotify account. It says an account is required to view common artists with other users.

The service, dubbed “Tinder featuring Spotify,” is being rolled out in the 59 countries where Spotify is available.
